Some 70 years ago the late Robert Colqu- noun obtained a lease to Colqu- houn’s island for 99 years at asmall annual rental, from the Indian chief.

Mr. Colqu- noun died and the island remains asa part of the estate. In October of this year the St. Regis chiefs held a meeting, and decided to allot this island to one of their number, named John Skin. “Skin prepared to take possession, and was caught red-handed cutting down trees. He was charged with destroying prop- erty in the police court, but in de- fence put ina claim of ownership, based upon a resolution of the chiefs. After hearing considerable evidence the magistrate adjourn- ed the case for one week. One of his veitnessess, in his evidence, says that the Indians .owned, the island and could do whatever they liked with it. He thought the lease of the Colquhouns was illegal as it had never been ratified by the council of A Bloody Fight. London, Nov, 29.—A special dispatch from Windsor says that General Methuen’s dispatch to the. queen, after the battle of Modder River, says: ; “The battle was the bloodiest of the century.
